8 in the Park
1 in the Forest
2 in the Lake
16 in the Townes
Two of the 16 townhomes turned over twice during 2018,
First being purchased by OpenDoor and then being resold.

POA
The Annual Meeting of homeowners is scheduled for Monday, November 26, 2018. Four seats will be open for election. Deadline for nominating candidates is past.

(The board has cancelled its October meeting several times due to lack of a quorum. July board minutes will be posted once approved.)

Responsibility for renewal of the Governorsvillage.org website will be transferred from Susie Moffat to Jeff SooHoo. The website will be reviewed for updates and the Communications Committee will reach out to other committee chairs to review their committee specific pages.

Playground equipment in Park is scheduled to be completely replaced at expense of more than $50,000, awaiting installers. New equipment will bring improved safety and ADA compliance to the playground.

Terry Landers resigned from the Communication Committee to pursue other projects. She has agreed to stay on as Village Ambassador and to maintain the welcome packet but no longer can absorb the work of covering for other neighborhoods. Until there is a volunteer ambassador for the Townes, the welcome package will not be provided to new
homeowners.

Terry has served since the committee was revived in 2010 and she has contributed generously of her talents and ideas. On behalf of the committee and the entire community, we offer our appreciation for her work.
